Work in progress, #3 – reviving the old bench

Armed with a list of items and good intentions, we went shopping. 

One thing we know, for sure: Bruno’s wood skills are definitely the best!

Stay tuned for more updates!

Work in progress, #2

We decided to repurpose an old bench from the 1980s, that was used before our department existed – part of our history ! This tired piece of furniture showed lots of promise…

Tiago is definitely an handyman – from sanding to painting, he can do almost almost anything!

We are not yet sure how the final thing will look. Stay tuned for more updates!

Amazing Lab@”Mãos às TIC”

The “Mãos às TIC” Engineering and Technology Laboratories were a real success!

The Department of Informatics Engineering of the UC received around 550 students from all over the country, who had the opportunity to “get their hands on ICT” and discover more about science, engineering and technology.

And, of course, the Amazing Lab was there !

A big “thank you” to Karima Velasquez and Vasco Pereira! The perfect sidekicks for the task!

Work in progress, #1

Ideas are coming together, and the dream is starting to take shape.

Taking stuff apart

A vintage find, but difficult to move.

Will it fit?

Stay tuned for future developments!

Making a difference, step-by-step

This year, the students from the Interface Technologies course have a novelty! Self-contained Arduino kits, which they can bring home and play with! Or learn…that’s pretty much the same thing here.

Chapter I: Let there be light

On this day, the Amazing Lab project was announced as one of the winners of the Feedzai First Foundation award. This endorsement will allow us to develop our vision. From now on, we will be working towards making the Amazing Lab a reality, for the Department’s community.

For the sake of our collective creative power and for the benefit of all of us.
